DANIEL H. ISEMINGER, OF BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS.

WINDOW-BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 495,810, dated April18, 1893.

Application filed November 1, 1892. Serial No. 450,664. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL H. ISEMINGER, of Bloomington, in the countyof McLean and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in WVindow-Brack ets; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make anduse it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which formpart of this speciiication.

My invention relates to an improvement in window brackets; and itconsists in the novel combination and arrangement of parts which will befully described hereinafter, and more especially referred to in theclaims.

The object of my invention is to construct and provide an improvedbracket or support whereby the cleaning of the outer sides of windowswill be rendered comparatively safe, and which will also afford asupportfor painters while decorating the window frames and sashes.

Referring to the accompanying drawings;- Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my improved bracket showing it in position in a window. Fig. 2, is aside elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the transversebar for holding the bracket in position.

A, designates the window frame, B, the platform of the bracket which isadapted to rest on and extend outward from the window sill and O, atransverse bar which is secured to the inner end of the platform andwhich engages the opposite sides of the inner face of the frame. Securedto this bar are the loops D, and adapted to move longitudinally thereinare the bars E, which when extended elongate the said bar and adapt itfor use in wide frames. The opposite sides of the platform B, areslotted longitudinally as shown at E and adapted to move therein are theclamping screws F, which extend through the cross piece G which is thusmade movable and adjustable on the under side of the platform. Securedat their upper ends to the strip G, are the downwardly extendingbracesI-I,which together with dependingstandards I, clamp the blocks J.Projecting inward toward the wall of the house from the inner faces ofthese blocks are the pins K, and supported by said pins are thevertically slotted bearing blocks L which are covered with rubber orother soft material and which rest against the wall of the house. Nowwhen the weight of the operator is on the outer portion of the bracketthe same is apt to sag down or have a slight vertical vibration. Thislatter is accommodated by the pins K, moving in the slots of the blocksL, while the latter remain in one position on the'wall. Thus the latteris not rubbed by the vibration of the bracket as it would be were thereno provision for taking up the said motion before it reached thewall.The upper ends of the blocks are turned horizontally as shown andextending downward therethrough from the slots E, are the clamping boltsM. Thus the braces are securely held in position and rendered verystrong by the standards so that a great amount of weight can besupported on their outer ends. As will be understood the said braces andstandards may be adjusted longitudi nally on the platform, thus varyingthe width between the bar 0, and blocks L, and adapting it for use onwalls of greater or less thickness. A hand rail N, is placed around theplatform and depending therefrom is the curtain 0, thus securing at onceto the operator safety and privacy.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A window bracket comprising a longitudinally slotted platform,'ameans for securing its inner end within a window frame, a transversestrip on the under-side of theplatform, clamping screws extending fromthe strip through the slots, and braces carried by the strip,substantially as shown and described.

2. A window bracket comprising a longitudinally slotted platform, atransverse bar secured to one end thereof, a strip extending across theunder sides of said slots, clamping screws projecting therefromthroughthe slots, and braces carried by said strip, substantially as shown anddescribed.

3. A window bracket comprising a slotted platform, a bar on its rearend, strip G, clamping screws extending therefrom through the slots ofthe platform, depending braces seends of said braces, pins projectinginward from said blocks, and vertically slotted bearing blocks adaptedto move on said pins and cured to the strip, standards I, and a hearingwhich latter confine the said movable blocks 15 5 block which is held bysaid standards and braces, substantially as shown and described.

4. The combination of a bracket platform which is adapted to projectthrough a window frame and to which it is secured at its inner IO end,braces depending from the under side of said platform, blocks secured tothe lower in place, substantially as shown and described. In testimonywhereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
